Because when you're a student it's easy to fuck up and break things. Clipping trees cuz he came in at the wrong angle, landing too hard and fucking up the landing gear, colliding with a telephone wire, you get the idea. Now imagine all of that studentness and also your instructor just committed suicide. Now that's in your brain too. So yeah it's irrelevant fact.
I threw my back out last night so I'll take that 4th one right now. Normally I'd take the 1st though.
Edit: on reflection I'll take the "books read" one anyway because no sword in the world is awesome enough that I'm gonna be swinging it in combat with crippling back pain.
Companies love firing people rather than letting them retire. Hell even the government loves to do it. It happened to my dad, he got forced into early retirement after 30 years of government service. The union really failed him.
No not that pattern. It's the one where, the closer you get from antiquity to now, the shorter the lifespan of an empire. It's not an absolute, but Rome is the biggest outlier in how long it lasted. In the current age, where empires have much shorter lifespans on average, America is an outlier, proportionately.
Never meet your heroes lol
